Gluten-Free Tofu Scramble Ingredients
- Olive oil — or other oil/vegan butter

- Salt & Pepper — to taste, preferably ground Himalayan salt and pepper

Tips for Making this Recipe or Tips for Success:
Meal Prep: Want to start your morning weekdays off right? Prep this meal on Sundays, place it in 3-4 containers, and you are ready for a healthy week ahead.
Crumble the tofu: to create a scrambled egg-like texture, crumble a bit more.
Use gluten-free spices: Check your spices and confirm they are gluten-free, I prefer to use McCormick or Badia brands because they have undergone more rigorous gluten-free testing.

Gluten-Free Tofu Scramble Variations:
- Seasonings: Add in your favorite seasonings and a dash of hot sauce for added flavor. Too much tumeric will not only change the color, but alter the taste of the scramble, so try to avoid being overzealous.
- For added creaminess: Add 1-2 tbs. non-dairy milk like cashew milk
- Don’t have minced garlic? Substitute 1/4 tsp. garlic power instead
